An Ingenious Adornment.

4 clever woman who has been living
with her husband out in the faShion-for
saken regions Of Honolulu showed the
clothes she had made for four-year-oId
daughter. They are something marvellous.
The little thing wore the other day blue
cashmere dress with front Of strange
passementcrie, 50 the mother was asked if
that pretty trimming was a product of
Honolulu. She explained that among her
effects out there she had found a few gross
of brass curtain rings. She crotcheted
over them covering of blue twist, sewed
them together and in each ring hung
bean carefully covered with crotchet work.
The whole front of the little dress was
decorated with this trimming. The in
genous woman had also triumphed over
Honolulu inadequacies by having fine
wrap trimmed with feathers. She had
taken strip of lace, put the top of every
feather through a mesh, and taken stitch
through it on the wrong side. Afterward
she put ribbon backing on with gum
tragacanth. Nobody ever saw feather
trimming so well made OF SO handsome.

Frozen Jurymen.

When used to come down to Paris to
court" says Jaier Parker. II remember
that for several years John Swazey and
EnOch Foster used to be 'pitted' against
each other on many of the leading cases.
The case which have in mind was one in
which a controversy arose over quantity
of cord wood. Foster felt it his duty to work
upon the sympathy of the jury, by i'm
pre>sin. upon them the idea of the labor
which this wood represented. Says Fos-
ter: You and |, gentlemen of the jury,
know how laborious it is to cut cord-woodi !
When was young man at home, | well
remember how laborious and tiresOme it
was" This was sufficient handle for
SWazey In his argument he says: My
Brother Foster has pictured to you the la
Dor of cutting wood and told you how tired
he became as result of this work when he
was Young man at home. Now gentlemen
Of the jury with all due respect to Brother
Fosters commendable efforts, | want to
say to you that had you been obliged to
depend for single winters day upon all
the wood that Brother Foster and myself
have ever cut, you would probably have
been frozen juryDaen By this time ?

Leading Knights and trades-unionists pri-

standings of employers are becoming stronger.
and that strikes are less successful in conse-
quence. The Labor Bureau reports show this
tendency Employers feel easier of late over

held to talk over plans for operation among

were greatly disheartened at the successes of
their workmen. The builders are also getting
together in several cities to act in harmony in
their dealings with labor. Last year nearly all
were taken by surprise. The present aim is not
to organize for hostilities but to be in better
shape to meet the demands or movements Of
labor.
Foreign iron-makers are gloating over their
heavy sales of iron and steel to America. The
workmen are expecting better wages and the
miners are asking how long it will be before the
Improvement will get down to coal. Leading

think that 1t is only question OF time when
American manufacturers will compete in the
markets OF the world successfully. Sheffield
